Vic's 2010 Campaign

Vic's 2010 Campaign
Comments

When I first created this campaign, I gave it a very generic name. That name seems now to be increasingly less appropiate. I was thinking that we could adopt a more fitting name. What does everyone thing of the Caeradan Chonicles ?

I placed a map on the front page of the campaign wiki. This one is a bit harder to place links on to but we can have multiple maps in this format. The draw back is that the maximum size is 700 Pixels across. I have linked the description of Kor to the city location on the map. When we get other city names I will fill them in and link them with the description.

GM note:
XP bonus will be awarded to players who contribute to the Adveture Log. Entries are to be made in the first-person point of view of the PC. Entries that contain “player knowledge” will have their bonuses reduced. If a PC makes a prediction or assumption that later proves to be true, then extra points will be awarded. The amount of the bonus will be determined by how closely the entry stays to the established character traits of the PC.

GM note:
I will not force the party to accept the charter that Patrick has created. HOWEVER, should the party choose to accept the charter, then there will be role-playing XP bonuses or penalties depending on how well the charter is obeyed by the party. if any player wishes to make amendments to the charter before it is accepted, then I expect the players to work that out. As GM, I will not intervene in in the creation or rejection of the charter. Any and all NPCs will be assumed to go with what the majority of the party decides.

Here is a potential party charter to submit to the group. Feel free make suggetions, or add a comment.
